Number One Hey there, and welcome to today's medical sales leader. I'm your host, Claire Davis, and I am so glad that you're here, I find that people tend to bump into each other because they're meant to through our life in our career. And the fact that that you're you are here listening to this video or audio, it means a lot to me, because it says that you are the kind of person who is open and excited about learning new ways to do medical sales. Because so let's talk a little bit about what this podcast is all about. Because what I am really certain enough, is if we want to see real change in our life, and in our careers, we have to be willing to change and try new things ourselves. And quick story. This came about because of a massive upheaval in my own career, which is why now I coach people in medical sales, to thrive in their career and to land any job that they set their sights on through these modern methods. And the way that I arrived here wasn't pretty, I actually was laid off four times myself. But what I realized after all of those hardships, was that it was the most clarifying fastest, most intense Crash Course, in how to get back in a career that pays beautifully, that thrills me that fulfills me, and in record time doing it. Because once you have to do something over and over, don't you just get a little bit better at it each time you do. So that's what I'm here to share with you in this podcast. I know for a fact that when we tend to do things the same way that we always have that sometimes it can be unfulfilling. And I see so many incredible medical sales professionals and providers and sales professionals out there who are reading the old books, right. And some of those things can still apply. But it's the ones who I find are willing to take the risk, to try new things to get out there and fail a little to win a lot that see their momentum, absolutely skyrocket. So that's what we're here today. I'm so excited. You're joining me here on today's medical sales leader. And if you would take a moment, hit subscribe so that you don't miss a single episode. But let me tell you what this is going to look like it's going to be right here in my office, the scenery might change, the lighting might change, the name might change. But what won't change is my dedication to bringing new fresh ideas from experts in their field. So I'm going to have incredible medical sales professionals on we're going to have providers who are dedicated to enhancing their patients experience by letting them know about the actual value that patients get by working with them. That's exciting, right?

So my goal for you after watching and listening to this podcast is that you walk away with some renewed confidence. Because listen, medical sales is really tough. It's very rewarding. But it's an incredibly tough, challenging, demanding career. And sometimes that can be crushing if we feel like we're not performing, and where we're focusing on those rankings. And we're not sure what to try next, or if we've exhausted our company training, and we're looking for some new ideas. And so that's what I'm hoping to bring you in this show. I want you to get really clear about what you're great at, I want you to be enlightened and inspired by people who are willing to share their story about their hardships, their failures, their wins and everything in between, so that you can try some other methods too. And I want you to find community. Because if there's one thing I know for sure, it's this. If you want it to go faster, if you want to grow faster. You've got to do it as a group. You've got to find those people who will fill you up and who will get excited about your mission and cheer Are you on on those days where it gets really hard.

And to get over the stress and the chaos of it so that I can move forward in my career. I ended up going into marketing for a while absolutely loved it got laid off there, too, because it was 2008. And all of our clients were home improvement.
